This place is nothing short of exceptional. The best place we have ever stayed. We just returned from a stay there and feel completely relaxed and recharged. The accomodation was absolutely stunning and there were so many extra special treats to surprise and delight us during our stay. The staff were very friendly and looked after us so well during our stay. We can’t wait to come back!

I enjoyed my 10 day stay. Room was lovely and spacious with a little patio and such a comfortable bed. The staff are very friendly and helpful. No request was too big for them. The location is absolutely perfect, short 5 min walk to QT central and easy to get out of QT in any direction. I can recommend this lodge to anyone and will be staying here on my next visit for sure.

One night before heading south

Reviewed By JocelynW314

This B&B is easy to get to by car. We flew into Christchurch and hired a rental car. Bonus is free parking on site so park and walk as the central city area is only about 0.5km away. The unit we had was spacious, clean and tidy and well appointed. If we were staying more than one night it would of been ideal to cook a light meal. As we were travelling we had toast and coffee for breakfast but they also do a cooked breakfast. The bed was really comfortable. On arrival we were given a map of the city and all the tourist sights we wanted to see were marked on it for us and explained.

Amazing Accommodation

Reviewed By travellerMelbourne

This hotel was an excellent overnight stay in Lake Tekapo and a chance to witness the International Dark Sky Reserve with millions of stars. The skylight above the giant super king bed meant you could see the stars and nebula all night. You can also press a button to close the skylight shutter, but it was much more interesting to leave it open. The rooms are super stylish and feature everything you need for your stay. Views of the lake from the room and bathroom with rainfall shower and luxury bathtub. Just a short 10 minute walk down into the town centre in this beautiful little town. Such a peaceful place.

Very enjoyable

We had a great, relaxing time. I couldn't fault anything, in fact it was better than when we stayed in a 5 star hotel in Queenstown. I can understand why reception was closed for reasons of health and safety but it would have been great to chat with someone about the area

The view, Kaz, the pooches, the room, breakfast. Friendly, warm, informative, inviting. Perfect place to stay whilst exploring the glaciers. We also headed into Alice May’s for dinner from Kaz’s suggestion which was equally delightful.
